In Spider-Man<\/em> comics, Doctor Octopus brought together Kraven the Hunter, Electro, the Vulture, Mysterio and The Sandman, to form the Sinister Six; a group formed with the intention of destroying Spider-Man.\u00a0 Numerous times, they failed, and everyone\u2019s favorite web-slinger always stood triumphant at the end of every conflict.<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s pretty much kT Rolster\u2019s League of Legends<\/em> team, whom made big waves this season, when they dumped four-fifths of their previous year\u2019s roster, and replaced them entirely with all-star caliber free agent individuals, most of whom were returning to Korea after unsuccessful stints in China.\u00a0 Mata, Pawn and Deft, three former Samsung players with the first two being members of the S4 Worlds champion Samsung White squad and the reigning LCK MVP Smeb joined Score, the lone kT holdover, to form a team that on paper looked unbeatable.<\/span><\/p>\n

The goal of this League superteam was obviously to win Worlds, but there was no secret about how the organization specifically wanted to dethrone the 90\u2019s Bulls of League of Legends, SK Telecom T1, aka SKT.\u00a0 Organizationally, kT and SKT are basically the AT&T and Verizon of Korea, two giants of the telecommunications industry, who are in endless competition with one another.\u00a0 And the players themselves, many of the newly signed guys were players that either had long-standing grudges with their SKT counterparts, were simply tired of their one squad always winning, or both.\u00a0 Both Pawn and Smeb have something of vendettas against SKT\u2019s Faker, the oft-proclaimed best player in the world, easily stemming from resentment of said title.<\/span><\/p>\n

Needless to say, prior to the start of Season 7, there was much ballyhooed about the construction of the new kT Rolster and how they\u2019d fare against SKT throughout the year.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And as the League year is rolling to its conclusion of the regular season, with kT and SKT having played several times already, the results are that kT has completely and utterly failed, like the Sinister Six repeatedly did against Spider-Man.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite the fact that at varying points, kT has taken individual games from SKT throughout numerous encounters, at no point throughout the entire season were they able to win out in a best-of series:<\/span><\/p>\n
